Versa Director is a centralized single-pane-of-glass platform that you use to monitor all the controllers, branch sites, and hub sites in your network. You can access all monitoring dashboards, screens, and tools in Director view by selecting the Monitor tab.

The Versa Director monitor dashboard displays resource information and the real-time system status of the Director applications and Versa Director nodes, and it provides a detailed information about alarms that have occurred on Versa Director and Versa Analytics nodes.

To view the Director monitor dashboard, in Director View, select the Monitor tab, and then select Director from the Organization drop-down list.

Recent Events

When notable events occur on Director and Analytics nodes, such as exceeding memory usage thresholds, the nodes generate alarms. The Recent Events pane displays alarm counts for Director and Analytics nodes. From the Recent Events pane, you can drill down to display alarm details and manage alarms.

Note: Analytics nodes do not forward alarms to Director by default. To, view Analytics alarms from the Monitor tab, you must configure Analytics nodes to export their alarms. See Export Alarms Logs to Director Nodes in Configure Log Collectors and Log Exporter Rules.
